Redskins have faced 6 Rookie QBs since 2006...... Their record????

[Duckus]

0 - 8 against rookie QBs is an incredible stat.

[RSanz]

Gut feeling? The streak gets extended to 0-9.

1) Week 6 of the 2006 season - 1st round draft pick Vince Young came into FedEx Field and won 25-22 with the aide of some gaffes by the Redskins.

2) Week 11 of the 2006 season - 6th round draft pick Bruce Gradkowski spoiled Jason Campbell's debut as a starter with a 20-17 win at Raymond James Stadium.

3) Week 13 of the 2007 season - The Sean Taylor game - Rookie 3rd round pick Trent Edwards and his Buffalo Bills kicked the Redskins and their fans in the heart with a 17-16 win at FedEx Field, in the cold rain, minus #21...

4) Week 14 of the 2008 season - first round pick Joe Flacco contributed to the Redskins slide at the end of the 2008 season by beating the Redskins at M&T Bank Stadium 24-10. This game wasn't even as close as the score indicates...

5) Week 3 of the 2009 season - number 1 overall pick Matthew Stafford ended a 19 game losing streak by the Lions by defeating the Redskins 19-14. This was the game that affectively ended the Vinny Cerrato era in Washington, DC.

6) Week 3 of the 2010 season - number 1 overall pick Sam Bradford gives the home St Louis Crowd their first win of the 2010 season and the first win of his career in a 30-16 win... it was as much fun then as it sounds now....

7) Week 7 of the 2011 season - number 1 overall pick Cameron Newton led the Panthers over the Redskins at Bank of America Stadium 33-20. The ballad of John Beck was born in this game... and it would become a hit single the next week in Toronto vs the Bills.

8) Week 16 of the 2011 season - first round pick Christian Ponder led the Vikings to victory - well, sort of, he was hurt in this game, and Joe Webb came in and cleaned up the Redskins... but the loss still goes to the Redskins. Christmas eve at FedEx and the Skins got a 33-26 lump of coal. Thank goodness I had a DD for this game....


EDIT: Glad you guys bumped this... I've been working on the above post, etc for about an hour and a half to start a new thread. I didn't see this one at all...

I'm looking forward to this weekend. It's going to be the game that gets either Andy Reid or Jim Haslett fired. Really a win win.

[Botched]

I only have seven... are you guys counting Josh Johnson? Josh Johnson was in his first year as a starter, but he wasn't on the practice squad in 2008... he was on the 53. But he never played until 2009. He's the only one I could find to make it 8.

Sam Bradford in 2010

thanks! I mixed him up with Matt Stafford...haha.

[Sticksboi05]

To actually go 0-8 is disgustingly pathetic.

[Heavy Jumbo]

Does anybody know what our overall record is against rookie QB's? I've tried looking at stats but can't find anything.

I had to go year by year for the info I got in the post above, mate. Good luck.

More work than I'm willing to put into it, but thanks!

Reid's already fired...he just hasn't left the building yet.

[Bishop Hammer]

Ew, it's up to 8 now isn't it

RG3 lead Skins are 0-0 vs rookies. Please carry this team to a W. It's high time the Skins kick another team while they are down.

Good point. Besides the streak might end since the Skins have a rookie qb starting?

Nope, that shouldn't matter.

Jason Campbell vs Bruce Gradkowski. Campbell loses. The football gods hate us very, very much.

Well that was the problem right there Campbell was our starting QB.

Ah, but it was Bruce freaking Gradkowski he was facing.
